Developing Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation Tools for Connected Automated Vehicle Applications: A Case Study on SR 99 in California

PDF Version (1.18 MB)

FOREWORD

Connected automated vehicle (CAV) technology is expected to produce significant mobility, safety, and environmental benefits for the traveling public. However, real-world case studies are needed to articulate reasonable benefits attributable to the technology. This report details a case study on the impact of vehicle connectivity and automated longitudinal control (i.e., SAE J3016 driving automation Level 1) on SR 99 in California to explore the benefits of cooperative adaptive cruise control on mobility and environmental performance measures.(1) This report may be of interest to State and local departments of transportation looking to better understanding possible real-world impacts of CAV technology.
